48 States Lyrics - Singles - Smalltown Poets

Been to 48 states and a few different worlds 

Beheld the blind tour guide and a pig wearing pearls 

I've seen grace under foot people fall in the street 

Or use it to wipe their feet 

Never the righteous man forsaken 

Never the righteous man 

Been to 48 states I remember a few 

Having higher skylines and a wide angle view 

I've seen green lands and the natives stay in one place 

Peace falling on their face 

Where could I be 

And stay happy 

I hear Hawaii is greener 

I hear Alaska is cleaner 

Whether here or there the righteous have joy to spare 

Been to 48 states and few different worlds 

I've seen dithered men leave boys, women and girls 

Found the church roll full and they're current with dues 

To pay for the empty pews 

Never the righteous man forsaken 

Never the righteous man.
